And Vote! Even with all the cheating and irregularities, we must still do our part. These are questions we need to ask our candidates and get them on record, what they plan to do about it.

Voting is irrelevant. One vote out of millions is insignificant. Better odds to buy lottery tickets. It's useful to vote anyway, to remind our rulers we're all watching them. But the real power comes from actually watching them. Letters don't seem to get much response, but they do have impact. Small donations aren't powerful, but they accumulate to give good candidates the leverage they need to stand up to the entrenched players. And they get you on their mailing lists with opportunities to help. A republic succeeds by the participation of the citizens. Complacent republics don't last long.
